Gary Bowyer heaps praise on Blackburn Rovers after quarter-final draw

Blackburn Rovers coach Gary Bowyer is full of praise for his players after they forced Liverpool into a replay in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Blackburn Rovers boss Gary Bowyer has heaped praise on his side after they forced Liverpool into a quarter-final replay in the FA Cup.

The Championship outfit produced an industrious display to hold the Reds to a goalless draw at Anfield, with the teams now having to go to Ewood Park to decide who will reach the semi-finals and get the chance to feature at Wembley.

"Full credit to the players, they were magnificent and restored a bit more pride," said Bowyer, according to Sky Sports News.

"Craig Conway had a fantastic chance and Alex Baptiste's header brought a fantastic save from [Simon] Mignolet. Aerially we were very dominant and had a couple of opportunities.

"Our players were pleasantly delighted to see so much grass on the pitch at Anfield. At Ewood it is not like that. Brendan [Rodgers] was complaining about the pitch here. Wait until he sees Ewood. It makes this look like Wembley."

Bowyer's side currently hold 11th spot in the Championship table, having collected 48 points from 35 games.
